Music Skipping while onl

I have been trying to research this problem. I have the Dell factory-installed SB Li've! soundcard, with quadraphonic analog speakers, and a subwoofer. But when I am online, if I play music (iTunes, Winamp, Windows Media, etc) the music skips like an old LP, usually when the cache updates. I have tried updating drivers, to no avail. I swapped the network card to another PCI slot (moved it further away from the sound card), also to no avail. Games do not do this, video does not skip - just music. Does not matter if it's MP3, wav, AAC, or any other format. It's not the music files, as when they're played on another computer, or burned to CD, or transferred to the iPod, they're fine. If I disable the LAN, music plays FINE. What gives?
Thanks for any help

Dell says it's the card, did I upgrade firmware/drivers (yes). I have added a secondary IDE controller card (for 2nd HD and Zip dri've), a firewire card for iPod and video camera, replaced the video card to nVidia Gforce FX 5500 8x AGP for dual monitor support (which works beautifully, btw..) Upgraded RAM memory to GB. The symptoms were present when I took this machine out of the box, and have not gotten better or worse with the additional hardware. It's a dell dimension 8200, .7 GHz, 400MHz FSB. Win XP SP2. Maybe you have some ideas?
thx

Music skipping while playing

Hey all. For some reason when I play my MP3's through iTunes they seem to be skipping, like a scratched CD almost. All the songs are ones I bought through iTunes so I know it's not that. Any ideas?

Hello ultron16,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at this:
iPhone and iPod touch: Songs or other audio content are skipped during playback
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3159
You may want to delete the songs that are skipping and redownload them.
Best of luck,
Mario

Music has TINY SKIPS while playing on my mac

Anyone know why the music has these little "click" skips while playing? I'm playing on a mac pro with Yosemite and hard wired high speed 150 Mbs connection. It's like the music has these tiny fast interruptions in it when playing. It seems to have happened only recently. Perhaps this is spotify encouraging me to leave for Apple's new service?

Is app nap enabled? https://community.spotify.com/t5/Help-Desktop-Linux-Mac-Windows/App-Nap-and-OSX-10-10-3/m-p/1160650

Music Skips

Ok gang, here we go.
When playing purchased music or imported music, the music skips initially and then skips some without cpu load, or vigorously with cpu load (such as starting control panel, firefox, or any other program).
I've done the following (all as of 5/21/07):
- updated bios, and all windows updates
- updated directx
- updated sound drivers (conexant)
- updated quicktime
- changed to WaveOut and 16bit in Quicktime Prefs
- changed to full hardware acceleration
- defragged
- deloused (adaware, windows defender, etc)
- disk cleanup
There are 1.3GB of imported songs, 800MB of purchased music, and 2.8GB of podcasts.
I've run network and cd/dvd diagnostics which returned the following results...
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)

Any other suggestions? If its feasible to revert to Itunes 6.x, then could someone please give detailed instructions to do so.
Thanks for your help.

Are you sure it's not your CD's what you uploaded to your phone?

Playlists with tracks flagged with "Skip while shuffling" do not advance

I manually manage my podcasts outside of iTunes and create playlists in iTunes so that I can arrange them and set album art before dropping them on to my iPod. Since I use the "Shuffle Songs" feature on my iPod routinely, I do not want the podcast tracks to be mixed with the rest of my music, so I set each podcast track with "Skip while shuffling".
The resultant behavior on my 4G iPod works as expected where I can go onto the playlist that I created for a Podcast and let it play in shuffle mode and it will go from one track to the next (I have Shuffle set to Song and Repeat to All in the Settings menu).
With the iPod Classic, when I play a track with the same settings as my 4G iPod, the track that I select will play over and over. If I try to advance to the next track by pressing ">>" on the wheel, the track starts over again.
Is this an actual behavior change with the iPod Classic or a bug? I definitely do not consider it as a feature :P
It's quite annoying that I am still using my 4G iPod for playing podcasts, which kind of makes buying the iPod Classic almost pointless.
Thanks.

*so I set each podcast track with "Skip while shuffling".*
*The resultant behavior on my 4G iPod works as expected where I can go onto the playlist that I created for a Podcast and let it play in shuffle mode and it will go from one track to the next (I have Shuffle set to Song and Repeat to All in the Settings menu).*
If your iPod Settings -> Shuffle is set to On, none of the podcasts will play unless you select a specific podcast and press Play. Then only one podcast will play.
*Shuffle Songs* on the main menu will shuffle all unless it is set to *Skip when shuffling*.
If Settings -> Shuufle is set to Off and you play a playlist, it is not shuffled therefore everything in the playlist will play.
Sounds like you do not have this turned on, on the Classic.

I've never had problems with iTunes, but I recently moved to a SSD and now music skips.

Howdy all. I've recently replaced my Analog HDD with a Solid State drive, (Samsung 840 250GB) which is so much faster, but only problem now is when listening to iTunes, I notice serious skipping. I have reinstalled drivers for chipset, audio, optimized the BIOS, yet still experience skips while under processor load, and also when system is only playing audio. I had no problems with this prior to the SSD and all was solid. I have uninstalled iTunes, rebooted and reinstalled to no avail. I'm running a Dell Latitude E6500 with Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz with 4GB DDR2 667. The SSD is a Samsung MZ-7TD250. All else on the machine is rock solid. Any advice on this? iTunes version is 11.0.4.4.

I don't have a definite answer, but by any chance do you have your hard drive encrypted? (e.g. Windows BitLocker, or a third-party full-disk encryption package)
Playing my iTunes media files on my laptop used to work perfectly. Ever since the full disk encryption software was installed, my music skips & buzzes (and sometimes just plays more slowly, which is really weird) whenever the files don't get decrypted fast enough. That's usually when other apps are also accessing files, maybe there's a disk access priority scheme that doesn't work as well when it has to funnel through the decryption driver?
Also, although my symptoms are occurring on a rotating disc drive, I've heard that there are some compatability problems between the disk encryption packages and the SSDs.

Burned DVD stops or music skips at 100th chapter

I am creating a slideshow with music in iDVD. When playing the burned dvd the music skips or the dvd stops at the 100th picture. Any fix for the problem? I noticed that iDVD automatically assigns each picture its own chapter so it could be the 100th chapter that causes the problem. If so, is there any way to have more than 1 picture per chapter?
Thanks for your help!

The 99 photos was because, as the original poster indicates, each photo is a chapter and the Video DVD standard (nothing to do with Apple, but the industry standard) is 99 chapters max. These days many players will play past 99 chapters, but many others, especially older ones, the strictly conform to the DVD standard balk when there are more than 99 chapters.
So while iDVD will now allow slide shows past 99 photos, if you want your DVD to be compatible with the most set top players, you are better off limiting your slideshow to no more than 99 photos. If you want more, then you want to create your slideshow manually in iPhoto or iMovie and place your own chapter markers keeping the number of chapters under 100.

Cannot select "skip while shuffling" option

I recently purchased a 3rd Generation iPod Touch and started using iTunes again. I had a 2nd Generation Classic iPod so I am not new to using iTunes though it has been a few years since I used it. I am having an issue that is driving me a little crazy and hope someone can help. I have a lot of kid songs and Christmas songs in my iTunes and have them in a playlist of their own, however, when I shuffle all songs (which is usually what I do) they continue to play. I was able to turn this off before by right clicking the song in iTunes, choosing "get info" then opening the "options" tab and check marking the box labeled "skip while shuffling" but this option is not available to me now. The "skip while shuffling" words are light gray and cannot be changed as well as most of the options in this tab. Can someone tell me why and how I can fix it? Please, I am tired of getting up and going to my iPod dock to skip songs so frequently when all I want to do is sit and relax and listen to some music!
Thank you in advance!
Nicole

Thanks Mike - I just imported 83 mpeg audio files from a CD of old radio shows and wanted to exclude them all from being shuffled. Doug Adams' script works like a charm.

Music skips when I unlock my phone?

I just recently got an iPhone 5s, and today was the first time i listened to music on it. Everytime I unlocked my phone while listening, the music skipped and went back a couple of seconds, sometimes as much as 20 seconds. Can I fix this?

Should not happen (doesn't for me).
Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

Music skips with iTunes

Since I updated my iTunes, I've found that if I am typing or surfing the web while listening to music on iTunes (even if I'm doing something minimal), the music skips, does little repeats, and does other generally annoying perfomance crap-outs.
Has anyone else been experiencing this problem? I'm running iTunes 7.0.2.16. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'd hate to have to change music players.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The section Install missing components may allow you to install Apple Application Support.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:

which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.

Question about skip while shuffling

i use the feature 'skip while shuffling' for quite a few songs because i don't like it when they just pop up in a shuffle
however i have a playlist full of all of those types of songs and i'd like them to be able to play when i'm using shuffle inside this playlist
is there any way to do this? because currently when i use shuffle in this playlist only a few songs which have not been set to 'skip while shuffling' will play
the only solution i could think of was to put all the music i want to listen to in a normal shuffle in one playlist and then uncheck 'skip while shuffling on all the songs that i don't normally want to hear while shuffling so that then i can listen to them shuffled in their playlist and not hear them when i shuffle with all my other music, but i don't really want to do this as it would be a rather huge effort and whenever i added new music i'd have to remember to add them to the correct playlists

Hello user13553753.
I've been trying to find anything that will allow the SKIP and FIX to work together researching and testing on 10gR2, to no avail.
The only recommendation that I can make beyond what you are already doing, excluding the SKIP option, increasing the LOAD by 1 to account for the header record and using a WHEN clause on the VAL3 column, is extending the WHEN clause to evaluate the full header recordWHEN (1:7) ne 'HEADER 'replacing the 'ne' with less than and greater than signs.
Although this is a bit of an improvement, I would still recommend evaluating the number of records discarded and confirm that this value is only 1, otherwise you could possibly discard actual data. Additionally, I would also add some comments explaining the LOAD value accounting for the header record that will be discarded to improve supportability.
Hope this helps,
Luke

Music skips after I unlock and press home button

I'm on an iPhone 5c using iOS7. So when I play music from the Music app, and remain on this app but lock the phone using the lock screen, when I go back and press the home button to go to a different app, the music skips back to a certain point in the song. It's only started happening recently so I thought I may have accidentally changed a setting or something but there doesn't seem to be any settings for this.
All help appreciated.
Thanks

I also have this problem and I know I didn't change any music settings on my phone. I also have the 5C. I have noticed that it always skips back to the part when I locked the phone originally. And it still does this even if I didn't lock it while on the music app screen.

Is anyone else having issues with "skipping" while the songs are playing?! It is very aggravating to us... and we've had it going on for several months now. Any ideas at all how to fix it?

How to read the whole name of a music title while scrolling down a list of titles? With the new iOs7 Music App there is no more black box showing the entire name!

How to read the whole name of a music title while scrolling down a list of titles? The old software-app had the function to click for a longer time on a titles beginning letters until a black box revealed the entire name. I miss this function especially for my classical music, because lots of pieces start with similar words. E.g.:
"Beethoven: Variations On "Ein Mädchen Oder Weibchen", Op. 66 - Var. 1"
"Beethoven: Variations On "Ein Mädchen Oder Weibchen", Op. 66 - Var. 2"
Scrolling in a list of title, I can't distinguish the titles, because just the first words are shown followed by: "...".
That's horrible!

Or you could include a width to your body style:
body {
background-image: url(Logo/sky1.jpg);
background-position: center center;
background-attachment: fixed;
width: 75%;}
It might work or not depending on your other color scheme.

Music skips on Windows 8.1 64-bit with iTunes 12.1

Okay, this is probably going to sound strange, but its true.....
When I am listening to music in iTunes 12.1 and I have Google Chrome opened, the music skips. I can open any other application and not have that problem, just only when Chrome is opened. Needless to say, I switched to Firefox and now the music does not skip. Has anyone else experienced this?
